THE KAlMILOA.
She Arrives safely In Port From
Samoa.

The long-looked for Kaimiloa arrived
in port yesterday afternoon at 3 O'Clock
and was anchored in the stream. She
was thirty-two days coming from Sa-
moa. Head winds and calms were ex-
perienced most of the passage.
She was signalled at twenty minutes 20
II O'Clock in the morning off BARRIERS
Point, and it took her four hours and a
quarter to reach port. The wharves
were lined with spectators anxious to
get glimpse at the vessel. As soon as
she came to anchor an officer from the
British and one from the American
men-of-war in port boarded her and paid
their respects to Captain Jackson. Di-
of the ADVERTISER stepped on board and
hailed the Captain. He was looking
fairly well, and we are sorry to say that
his right hand appears to be paralY sed las
he was almost unable to use it. Capt.
Jackson has evidently had hard time
of it.
Sam Maikai was a prominent figure
on the deck. In answer to questions
Sam said he had enjoyed himself; did
not marry a Samoan woman; was glad
to come home to get some poi; that j
E. Bush would soon be King Malietoa's
Prime Minister; that the stories about
the officers and crew getting on a spree
were not true.
Frank Jerome, Lieutenant of the Ma
rines, looking as happy as lark, was
the next to be questioned. He said he
was very hungry and wanted some poi
and fish, as they had been having too
much salt beef He was not sorry that
he had made the trip. If he had stayed
on the vessel a year or so longer he
would have been able to run a navy
himself. 1t was true, he said, that one
of the crew tried to blow up the ship.
The fellow was caught in the nick Of
time, and, said Frank, it would have
surprised you if you had seen how
quickly got the irons on him. Seven
of the crew deserted the vessel at Samoa.
The German man-of-war Adler followed
us wherever we went, but we did not
mind that. Our vessel was made very
welcome at Samoa.
David Moehonua said he was sick
nearly all the way up, the vessel rolled
so. 1t is very warm at Samoa, more so
than in Hawaii. Five sailors and two
m arines deserted They did not see
single vessel or any land after leaving
Samoa. Five German men-of-war were
in port when they left. Mr.. Bush APP
pears to be quite fayorite with King
Malietoa. The Germans provide Ia
masses followers with firearms, and
there is probability of fight.
AT this point the gig was lowered, and
Captain Jackson went ashore, and the
reporter finding he could get no more
news also left the vessel.

CHICAGo,s September y. - Senator
Charles B. Farwell was interviewed to-
day by a representative of the ''Daily
News" regarding the suggestion that his
name be used IN the next Republican
National Convention as Chicago's candi-
date tor the President of the United
States. Farwell was 10th to say any
thing, but persistent efforts finally over
came his reserve and he made answer
that it would be time enough to consider
what action he would take when his
name was indorsed by the convention.

The New Union church.

Several meetings have been held to
perfect the union of Fort-street and
Bethel Churches. No name has yet
been agreed upon. Grace, Calvary and
Bethany are some of the names pro-
prosed; Union, First Central, Mission,
have also been urged. The brief creed
prepared by Rev. DIR. Beckwith has
been adopted; as also the covenant and
the constitution, prepared by the COM
nittee. The bylaws and the form of
charter proposed are yet to be con-
sidered and adopted. The indications
are favorable for strong, harmonious
and successful church organization.
Rev. E. 6. Beckwith, ID, has sent in
his resignation of the passionate OF the
Third Church, San Francisco, and IS
preparing to come soon to Honolulu to
take the pastorate OF the new union
church, to which he has been invited by
the membership now organizing .-IBul-

What Bright American Thinks of Things
Abroad.

Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew of New York
has just returned from Europe. Applying
the journalistic pump, he was induced to
say, chow am I?' he said in response to
the first question. well, now, | have been
in England so long have caught some of
their expressions, so that can answer that
| went abroad in beastlv good health and
have returned in even better health
Yes, I've had glorious trip, but, really,
l am glad to get back again. An American
only and truly appreciates his own coun-
try after he has been abroad for a time.
After he has been once he never looks for
anything that is less than 500 years old.
Everything else we have here is ever 40
much better than they have there, but in
old things they excel us. They are away be-
hind us in everything but age. Why, look
at the English newspapers, for instance.
They are not newspapers at all. They
don't know what news is over there. Why,
do youknow that Blaine. Sim ION Cameron,
Gov. Alger, Gen. Hawley and Murat Hal
stead were all in London at the same time
and not a newspaper in London knew
of it. and with the exception OF
Mr.. Blaine. they did not know who the
distinguished visitors were? Fancy Glad
stone, Lord Salisbury, Harrington and
Parnell coming over here and the news.
papers taking no note OF them"
Mr.. Depew said he had not the pleasure
OF meeting Mr.. Gladstone this trip. He
was invited to dinner on purpose to
meet him, but the old statesman was TAX
en- ill and could not come.
Talking OF the prospect of war between
France and Germany Mr.. Depew sal! that
both countries were as fully equipped for
war as they could be, and fighting spirit
had not only seized the soldiers but even
the masses of the people, who were backing
up the soldiers.
